Bihar Youth Congress slams Nitish over his govt report card

Patna, Nov 26: Bihar Youth Congress on Saturday slammed the chief minister Nitish Kumar over the state government's report card. The Youth Congress said that it was aimed at "misleading" and "befooling" the people.

"The report card is nothing but an eyewash and is also aimed at misleading and befooling the people on all issues," Lalan Kumar, state YC president told the media.

According to the Youth Congress, Nitish is responsible for the rampant corruption and accused him for failing to tackle the Maoists.

Lalan Kumar described the performance card as a "dhong card (an eyewash)...the people in general and Muslims in particular, have been cheated".

The congress leader alleged that the UPA-1 government had sanctioned Rs 525 crore for Multi-Sectoral Development Programme in Muslim-dominated districts but the state government had spent only Rs 13.5 crore.

Kumar claimed that the National Minorities Development and Finance Corporation had stopped providing funds to Bihar State Minority Finance Corporation, due to which Muslims were not provided soft loans.

The youth congress has accused Nitish as the state government had received 342 proposals worth Rs 2.5 lakh crore but not a single paisa has been invested in the industrial sector. Nitish was blamed for the deterioration in the law and order.

"The Youth Congress wants to know from the CM as to how he dares to bring out performance card every year despite the fact that there is nothing tangible seen on the ground," Lalan added.
